Warside is full of good ideas, solid mechanics, and clear passion—but it’s not ready for prime time. It plays like a polished prototype that slipped out under pressure. While it can be fun for tactics veterans, the bugs, balance issues, and lack of polish make it a hard sell at launch. Buy it if you’re patient, passionate about Advance Wars-style games, and willing to support development. Wait if you want a finished campaign, strong writing, or competitive multiplayer out of the box. That said, Warside deserves a second look in a few months—if the developers follow through on their patch roadmap. There’s a strong game in here. It just needs more time in the trenches.
BrokenLore: Don’t Watch is a quiet triumph in indie horror. It’s less about monsters in the dark and more about what happens when you stop facing the light. Thoughtful, disturbing, and deeply personal, it captures the horror of isolation in a world that’s always watching. It won’t be for everyone—but for those who want their horror games with substance, symbolism, and a psychological punch, this is a must-play. It’s short. It’s strange. And it might just stay with you longer than any jump scare ever could.
Uncover charming mysteries in vibrant India! Solve cases, trade for clues, bargain in markets, and meet quirky characters in a cozy 2D-meets-3D world where each solved case reveals a bigger secret.
Crash back to Woanope and explore a wild alien world! Befriend quirky creatures, craft chaos with weird weapons, build cozy homes, and slap your way through a hilarious, heartfelt space adventure.
Forest 6174 is indie horror at its most unfiltered. It’s not polished, but it is raw, disturbing, and strangely thoughtful. It may not satisfy players looking for jump scares or high production value, but for those who enjoy short psychological horror stories with a grim edge, it’s worth your time—especially at a low price point.
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree might not rewrite the Soulslike or Metroidvania playbook, but it brings enough style, systems, and substance to justify a place in any dark fantasy fan’s library. It’s a sprawling, artistically impressive RPG that nails exploration and combat—but stumbles with some frustrating design choices and uneven storytelling. Buy it if you’re a fan of Salt and Sanctuary, Blasphemous, or Hollow Knight, and want something moody, challenging, and visually rich. Just be prepared to dig through some rough edges to find the heart of what makes this game special.
Wreckfest 2 nails what it must get right. The feel of driving. The thrill of impact. The joy of watching your car disintegrate mid-lap. But it’s not a full game yet—it’s a violent, promising prototype. If that sounds like your kind of fun, you’ll find something to enjoy here. Otherwise, wait until Bugbear gives it the bodywork it deserves.
"GORN 2" is pure VR joy distilled into a whirlwind of blood, laughter, and absurdity. On Valve Index, it plays smooth, looks fantastic, and delivers one of the most genuinely cathartic experiences VR can offer. However, unless you love custom battles and endless self-made challenges, its short campaign and lack of deep progression systems mean you might not stick around long after the first bloodbath ends. Still, for sheer pick-up-and-play madness, "GORN 2" is an easy recommendation — especially if you're the type who thinks "giant meat cleaver vs. hypnotized enemy" sounds like the perfect afternoon.
Pilot your trusty mech through frozen ruins as Stamp, a grumpy rabbit rust digger! Smash, loot, and upgrade your gear while uncovering secrets of a lost world ruled by bunnies.
What makes this game shine is the balance between time management and psychological horror. The deep-sea setting adds a claustrophobic, almost Lovecraftian dread that lingers long after you log off.
The Cecil: The Journey Begins is a messy but memorable psychological horror experience. The puzzles are clever, the world is unsettling, and the story sticks with you—especially once it starts to unfold. Yes, it’s janky. Yes, it needs polish. But if you’re patient and open to indie horror that swings big—even when it stumbles—this one’s worth a visit. Just keep the lights on and your ears open. And don’t trust the mannequins.
Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a gritty, promising survival sim that nails tone and tension—but still needs polish and balance to reach its full potential. It’s not for everyone. But for fans of This War of Mine or Project Zomboid who want an emotional, side-scrolling survival experience with real stakes, it’s worth watching—and maybe even playing now.
Mudborne is a beautiful example of how a small indie game can do everything right: tight systems, a clear artistic vision, and gameplay that surprises and delights. Whether you’re here for the genetics, the frogs, the puzzles, or just the vibes, Mudborne delivers. It’s smart but never overwhelming, chill but never shallow, and visually striking in a way that makes it stand out in a crowded genre. If you’re a fan of Apico, Wilmot’s Warehouse, Baba Is You, or just really into frogs—you won’t want to miss this.
Koira doesn’t break new ground, but it doesn’t need to. It carves out a quiet space in your heart and stays there. For $17.99, it’s an emotionally rich, artistically confident, and completely charming experience. It may not satisfy gamers craving challenge or complexity, but it will resonate with anyone who values connection, beauty, and gentle storytelling. It’s less about what you do—and more about what you feel. And that feeling sticks.
Hack, slash, and launch yourself across a prison full of zombie aristocrats in this fast-paced, speedrun-ready action-platformer with revolutionary flair.
AI Limit is full of smart ideas: stamina-free combat, build variety, and rewarding exploration. When it all works, the game delivers a fun, fast-paced Soulslike experience that feels surprisingly fresh despite its budget. But it’s also buggy, repetitive, and lacking polish. Storytelling is weak, and performance problems are frequent enough to frustrate even dedicated fans. If you love Soulslikes and don’t mind a little jank, AI Limit offers a unique take on the formula—just don’t expect perfection.
Centum doesn’t want to entertain everyone. It wants to linger. It’s not a puzzle game in the traditional sense, nor is it a narrative game in the way we’ve come to expect. It’s a playable mood, a psychological Rorschach test rendered in pixels and static. You won’t find all the answers. But if you’re the kind of player who’s okay living in the questions, Centum is something rare, strange, and quietly remarkable.
That sentiment holds even stronger now with Tape 2’s release. DON’T NOD has managed to wrap up a deeply personal story with care, thoughtfulness, and creative storytelling. And while it may not be for players looking for fast-paced gameplay, those seeking something meaningful, reflective, and moving will find something special here.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land isn’t just a bold step for the series—it’s a successful one. It modernizes Atelier without losing its charm. The open world feels fresh, the systems are satisfying, and the game respects your time. There’s room for refinement, but this is comfort food for RPG fans—and a promising new path for a beloved series. If you’ve never clicked with Atelier before, Yumia might be the one that finally gets you. And if you’re already a fan, there’s enough here to justify diving in—just maybe don’t expect the same depth in all the old places.
MainFrames is one of those games that knows exactly what it wants to be—and nails it. It’s glitchy in the best way, fast without being overwhelming, and clever without being obnoxious. If you’re a fan of Celeste, VVVVVV, or Super Meat Boy, and you’re open to a few quirks, MainFrames is absolutely worth booting up. It may not change your life, but it’ll challenge your reflexes, make you laugh at a killer pop-up window, and remind you why tight, creative platformers are still one of gaming’s purest pleasures.
